Following years of directing music videos and shorts, Taichi Kimura unleashes his impressive first feature film, “Afterglows.” Shot in black and white, the film also features a screenplay by the trio Ryosuke Asano, Takuma Hiramatsu, and Yasuhiro Kim. The movie had its international premiere at the Japannual Film Festival.

Cab driver Akira Morishima is grief-stricken following the death of his girlfriend, Sayuri Komatsu, a successful singer who tragically committed suicide. While on the job, he listens to a radio essay named “Afterglows,” which prompts him to reflect on memories with his deceased lover. Yet, while Akira desperately tries to move on with his life, his obsessions become more depraved, and his grip on reality loosens. Eventually, his life spirals out of control.
While its narrative and stylistic choices may seem familiar, “Afterglows” is still full of surprises.

I've got a fun trailer for an action-packed zombie film for you to check out called Redcon-1. Don't write this movie off just because it's another Zombie film, it actually looks like it could be a good and entertaining movie! Especially with zombies that have enhanced combat and fighting skills!
The story follows a squad of eight Special Forces soldiers who embark on a suicide mission to rescue an important scientist from a city that is overrun with zombies. The film is also said to include "genuine relentless fight action and bristling with real military hardware."
After a zombie apocalypse spreads from a London prison, the UK is brought to its knees. The spread of the virus is temporarily contained but, without a cure, it’s only a matter of time before it breaks its boundaries and the biggest problem of all… any zombies with combat skills are now enhanced.

"War Has Just Evolved." Eagle Films has released an official trailer for a British zombie action horror film titled Redcon-1, opening in cinemas in the UK this September (though unfortunately no word on any Us release yet). Another new take on the zombie genre, this one introduces zombies with "enhanced" combat skills. The plot follows a squad of eight Special Forces soldiers who are assigned a suicide mission to rescue a scientist from a city ruled by the undead. Starring Oris Erhuero, Carlos Gallardo, Mark Strange, Katarina Leigh Waters, Martyn Ford, Joshua Dickinson, Michael Sheehan, Akira Koieyama, Euan Macnaughton, Marc Baylis, and Madeleine Kelly. This supposedly features "genuine relentless fight action and bristling with real military hardware." Surprisingly this looks better than it sounds, but still doesn't seem to add much new or different to the zombie genre. At least it doesn't look like a total disaster. Here's the first...

Akira Koieyama is a famed Japanese martial artist and actor who has played in films like “The Last Samurai”, “47 Ronin”, “Rush” and in the web series “Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist”.
We talk to him about his career, life, martial arts, philosophy, and many other topics.
How did you first enter the martial arts? What kind of training did you receive?
I started karate practice when I was a kid, particularly Shurite Ryu karate. When I started, the students went to the dojo twice a week. We practiced Makiwara, Kata, Kumite, we trained from basic to sparring. I got hurt and injured, sometimes, but I liked training. I remember doing a lot of practice before the tournament. I started tae kwon do practice last year. I also love Japanese sword training (iaido).
How did you end up working in movies?
I went to Toho’s contemporary acting studio for 3 years in Japan,...

When watching a low-budget genre movie it’s always a little disheartening to discover that the film’s execution doesn’t quite live up to its ambitions. Sadly, such was the case with The Scopia Effect, a film that possesses an intriguing premise with which it does disappointingly little. Alarm bells should have rung in the opening titles when the name of the movie is helpfully defined for the audience, despite the phrase never actually coming up in any other part.
Basia is a Polish emigre working in England, a trait used both to highlight her nomadic nature (important to the plot) and to still be able to cast an attractive blonde woman in the lead (important to the producers). She’s having some anxiety problems brought on by repressed memories,...

Two new horror adaptations are coming to BBC Radio 4 this Halloween as part of Fright Night, The Stone Tape and The Ring…
While all the cool kids will be tripping over high heels and falling out of Borat mankinis on sticky dancefloors this Saturday the 31st of October, all the really cool kids will be elsewhere come Halloween: headphones on, mug of spooky cocoa in hand, listening to BBC Radio 4.
As part of Radio 4’s first annual Fright Night of Halloween programming, two exciting horror dramas are on their way: The Stone Tape, adapted from Nigel “Quatermass” Kneale’s 1972 television play, and The Ring, adapted from Koji Sozuki’s 1991 film franchise-spawning novel.

Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist started life as a YouTube series, but director, writer and star Joey Ansah is now releasing the online hit in a feature length cut which hits DVD, Blu-ray and Blu-ray steelbook on October 27th. The movie was made in association with Capcom USA and blends top notch martial arts with an authentic adaptation of the iconic Street Fighter franchise. Ansah gained recognition for his role in The Bourne Ultimatum, and as well as playing fan-favourite character Akuma in this movie, he's joined by Mike Moh as Ryu, Christian Howard as Ken and Akira Koieyama (47 Ronin) as martial arts teacher, Gouken. I recently had the chance to talk with Joey over the phone about Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist, as well as which other comic book and video games he would like to adapt and his thoughts on a faithful take on the X-Men in the near future.

Machinima has released the full trailer for their new web-series, Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist. Street Fighter was one on my favorite games growing up, but it never really seemed to translate very well to film. This might be the best adaptation we ever get because I seriously don't think any studio is going to attempt to make another Street Fighter movie ever again.
The live-action series comes from Ansah, who worked on the fan film Street Fighter: Legacy. He also stars in the series as Akuma, and co-wrote the script with Christian Howard. The series also stars Mike Moh as Ryu, Togo Igawa as Gōtetsu, Akira Koieyama as Gōken, Gaku Space as Gōki, Mark Killeen as Mr. Masters, and Hal Yamanouchi as Senzo.

A teaser trailer has emerged for a supernatural thriller called Scopia. The film takes the chilling elements of a good scary movie and funnels it into a psychological warfare after a hypnotic session goes disturbingly awry. Writer-Director Christopher Butler has thus ambitiously taken the typical, enclosed horror genre to cinematic realms not seen before in British feature films.
Scopia was Produced by Flynn Films, and was Written and Directed by Chris Butler, his first feature film. Christopher has a background in advertising and his debut sees his haunting, shocking style brought to the big screen with a story to match. "Scopia" stars Joanna Ignaczewska and Louis Labovitch and they're joined by Jessica Jay, Akira Koieyama, Mathew Roberts, Genevieve Sibayan, Callum Holbrook and others.
